WHAT!! Just because you are at the northernmost point of the earth does

the sun--- it would still set to the west. 

right?

WRONG.  The sun doesn't set.  (Not 100% true, the incline on the Earth
interferes, but you get the idea.)

or is all I learned in trig, geometry, and physics wrong ?

If you learned this in trig or geometry, then you learned it wrong.

Ok ok.. you are right on that. But I was just trying to use that as an 
indication of direction. Actually (mis finally realizes that the earth 
rotates) I guess east, west, south, and north would be undefined because 
you couldn't calculate them from the earth (as we are constantly 
revolving and orbiting around the sun in addition). So, I guess if you 
were standing on the SUN (which doesn't move) you could caculate 
directions. Waittaminute. The Sun is traveling in a circle around the 
Milky Way too. Damn. So if you are standing in the middle of the Milky 
Way.... how about then ?

hehehe 

sorry to blather
